Going the Lady Gaga way with your hair? Beware

If you too vie for the crazy hairdos like Lady Gaga, here’s something you need to know. News is that the Grammy-winning singer is slowly balding.
Apparently, her wild hairstyles and the recent experiment, where she dyed her hair peroxide blonde, cost her dear. Known for her wild and eccentric hairstyles, GaGa’s excessive hair loss is being linked to her carelessness towards her hair, say reports.
A recent study called the World’s Best Hair Study 2010 conducted under hair research expert Dr Yash Kamath shows that Indian hair ranks highest on the parameters of thickness, shine, smoothness and tensile strength when compared with African and Caucasian hair due to their habits of oiling it regularly. “Grooming practices which influence the health of the hair differ in each of the regions. Africans follow the practice of braiding, tying hair very tightly, using neutralisers, etc while Caucasians are known to indulge in hair colouring, blow drying, using of styling products, etc. India, on the other hand, has been known to use natural home remedies for thick, long and beautiful hair,” explains Dr Kamath.
Oiling hair has been part of the Indian hair care routine since generations, and it has stood in good stead as it has won the nation the crown of the World’s Best Hair. No matter how much Indian girls experiment with their hair, their loyalty to the hair oil regime allows them to repair any damage that is done with the experimentation. We see that even all our Bollywood heroines still manage to maintain the health and shine of their luscious tresses despite all the styling they go through. Be it actors like Anushka Sharma, Chitrangada Singh, or Vidya Balan, theyall swear by the champi.
Says Sharma, “Indian women have always been known for their luscious locks and it is blissful to know that we have the World’s Best Hair. Coconut oil is the best natural conditioner for hair and helps maintaining its beauty.”
“I strongly believe that Indian hair is synonymous with beauty and the credit goes to the traditional coconut oil champi that we have been performing as a ritual for years now and which acts as an excellent conditioner for healthy hair,’’ says Chitrangada Singh.
